Believe me, Thursday night after NBC ran "The Doomsday Machine" for the first time none of us kids gathered to watch it had any thought of discussing utopias, the Prime Directive or anybody's grand "vision of the future." We were just on a sugar high, metaphorically and literally (nobody under 30 drank diet soda in those days.)

Ditto "The Night Stalker". And of course packs of kids running in slow motion going "nuhnuhnuhnuhnuhnuhnuh"...what do kids play today? "Glee"?
